I don't like too pick and choose opponents since that seems to always back fire. I'll respect whoever the Yankees end up playing. However, I would love to see the Tigers and Twins go to a one game playoff for the division on Tuesday to further wear them down and not give them an off day before they play the Yankees.

Hopefully the Yankees get off to a great start against the Twins tonight. Go Yankees!

I'd be shocked if we drop tonight's game. I know there's something to be said for momentum, and magic-carpet-rides... and all that good stuff. But there's something to be said for exhaustion too. Minny played 8 pitchers last night throughout the game, and is about to play the Yanks with less than 24 hours rest.

I've never even heard of the Twins starting pitcher tonight. If CC can hold them to under 4 runs I like our chances. Go Yanks!

Whoever he is he does have a good ERA even if his WHIP is far from fantastic at 1.37 and he only had 53 K's in 84 innings but he didn't walk a ton of guys (31 in 84 innings which isn't that great either but it's not horrendous)

All-around great game for Yanks. CC pitched very good, the bullpen was more than solid, big game from Jeter, A-Rod got off the post-season shneid, contributions from Swisher and Matsui... Did anything go wrong?!
